things that are true:
- i have cried like 7 times tdy
- i am in an emotional state (all month)
- sipping a gas station yerb
- a butterfly landed on me and i cried during my walk
- walked two miles in my non slip breaking not worth $90 kitchen birks
- said hi to and smiled at everyone i passed
- pet so many good dogs
- listened to lana’s discography on shuffle out loud for my entire walk
- chased a deer
- cried some more bc there were so many beautiful families and groups of elderly friends and i miss my family
- took photos of some cute elderlies
- felt so sweaty by the end of the walk but was inspired by all of the walking athleisure so i went straight to ross and shopped for an hour and a half

a super unique and cool rec for u all...
but i just moved from the Oakland hills to a more walkable area and !breaking news! it is completely changing my life for the better. at first i found it difficult to motivate myself but setting out my clothes shoes and headphones the night before so i can just slip into the fit and goooo has helped a ton.
i also like to give myself little, informal quests to complete on each walk just 2 spice things up so here are some from the past week:
- listen to a new episode of POOG or Seek Treatment (the only 2 pods i listen to)
- find a blue box and finally mail that damn letter to Laura
- re-fill bag of coffee from Ain't Normal cafe
- call my BFF in Copenhagen bc time zones align at 7 in the morning
- buy q-tips at Walgreen's
some ideas for next week to pay more attention to my surroundings and connect:
- bring my film camera and take 5 pictures
- notice 5 birds, trees, flowers, plants, etc
- smile at 5 strangers!!!
- call my parents bc they're probably on a walk too
- call my grandparents in India bc time zones also align...
anyway. i love 2 walk now

anytime I’m feeling especially good, I’ve been walking. All day long I’m just going for a walk

i used to feel guilty for taking long walks in the morning bc i always felt like i placed my value in my output, & walking wasn’t something i considered “productive” :///
when i finally gave myself permission to let whatever i felt called to do be productive, the flow of creative ideas, mental soundness & nervous system regulation i felt was overwhelming. in a good way. the sun, the fresh air, the forward movement of my body, the people watching… everything fed the positive energy i seemingly kept for the rest of my day. walking is productive. so is being in the sun. so is doing nothing sometimes. i need that reminder sometimes so this post is for me too :’)
